HI THANKS FOR ASKING THIS ON HCM, no need to worry if you have completely swallowed the bone. it should raise concern only if has got lodged somewhere in between. if you feel any pain while swallowing food then consult with a surgeon who can do a oesophagoscopy to confirm its presence as long as you have no other complaints there is no need to worry.
